Rory was blindfolded and sitting silently in Sebastian's Prius until the car stopped. Sebastian removed the blindfold and Rory covered his eyes, the sun hitting him directly in the face.

"We're here," Sebastian said, getting out of the car. He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door. Rory didn't budge, but looked at his kidnapper.

"What do you want with me?" Rory asked. "Why are you doing this?"

"All in good time, Rory, now come on." Sebastian took Rory's hand and led him into the warehouse. Rory found the room was decorated in green, some artificial bushes in one corner.

"What is this?" he asked, confused.

"It's Ireland; at least, what it looked like from Google Images," Sebastian explained. "Look, Rory, I wanted to show you that I'm not a bad guy. Okay, yes, I violated you and beat the shit out of Nick and Jeff, but like I said yesterday, I'm just fucked up in general. I don't know how to say this, Rory, but," Sebastian swallowed, "I love you. There, I said it. I've never felt this way about any other guy before. I'm so sorry for being such a…there's not even a word for what I am."

"I don't know what to say," Rory said softly, looking up at Sebastian. "I'm in love with Sam, but I don't know about you. I'm sorry, Sebastian."

"It's okay, buddy. I just wanted to apologize to you in person. There's just one thing I want to do before I let you go," he said. Rory recoiled, and Sebastian held his hands up. "I'm not going to hurt you again, I promise. I just wanted to do this." Sebastian leaned in and kissed Rory softly on the lips. "That's it; I just wanted to do that. I'll drive you home now."

"Wait," Rory said and Sebastian looked down at the boy. Rory reached up and kissed Sebastian back. "I know I'm cheating, but I liked it when you kissed me."

"Rory, you have to be sure. I don't want to hurt anyone, not anymore. I'm going to go to therapy and get some serious counseling. I will always be in love with you, and if you don't reciprocate those feelings, I'll live with it," Sebastian whispered.

"No one has to know," Rory countered quietly. Sebastian looked at Rory, surprise evident in his face. Rory moved forward and ran his hands up Sebastian's shirt. Sebastian cupped the smaller boy's face and kissed him again.

It seemed like hours later when Rory awoke naked in a patch of plastic grass; he looked to his side and saw an unclothed Sebastian snoring. Rory prodded Sebastian, which made the larger boy jerk awake.

"Mr. Sajak, I'd like to buy a vowel!" he said. "Oh, well, Rory, what do you think?"

"That was fun, especially since you didn't force me," Rory smirked. "But I do know this and I know it sounds crazy, I love you back. But I don't want anyone to know, least of all Sam."

"I get it, if he found out we did it, he'd kill me. Just act like nothing's wrong. We'll never tell a soul, okay, Rory?" Sebastian asked. Rory nodded. "Come on, I'll take you home."


Sebastian drove Rory to the end of Sam's block; Sebastian kissed him and whispered "I love you." Rory embraced Sebastian briefly and got out of the car. Rory walked over to Sam's house and found Sam sitting on the step waiting.

"Rory, I'm so sorry, baby," Sam said as he hugged Rory. "What did that psycho do to you?"

"Nothing, we just talked," Rory replied/ "He apologized and told me that he's in love with me."

"Sebastian's in love with you?" Sam repeated, looking revolted. Rory nodded, took Sam's hand, and they walked into the house together.


A/N: I wouldn't be surprised if the lot of you wanted to murder me for writing such a chapter.
